A Day in the Life of: A Beijing Opera Singer
... size shoes my friends wear. Not sure, especially at the above said hour.
7:00am (Tuesday) I awake to a phone call, to let me know that while the performance is at 3pm this afternoon, we will be meeting at 12pm instead of 1pm, though the previous day we mainly stood around for 90 mins waiting for rehearsal space. The good news is that because not only are other teachers in the anniversary show, as well as our students, classes ...

I heard the bottle crash and land right near my chair. Eventually the storm calmed down, but we finished our food and left before they started round 2.

Duped Detour....
... conductor brashly gestures for us to alight. At this point we have no idea where we are, but he passes us over to another guy who we presume will take us to our connecting bus. We follow as he leads us to the train station. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. We wait whilst he buys us train tickets to Guilin, an hour from our destination Yangshuo, no doubt taking his cut again! Worst of all the train is at 5pm - leaving us with a 12 hour wait in ...
